BELT END.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1907.

Application filed uly 27 1907- Serial No. 385.833.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CASPER BLOOMBERG, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvenient in Belt'Ends, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a parel belts in which the ends are held toget er by a buckle and among my objects are the construction of the end in such manner that the buckle cannot be torn out, and to reduce the cost of construction to a minimum, the usual sewing being d1spensed with.

Another object 18 to utilize the member fastening the parts together as a label to indie-ate size, etc. 7

. An embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is a front view of my-improved belt end; Fig. 2 a back view; Fig. 3 a sec tional view on the line 0: m of Fig. i Fig. 4.- a

plate.

terial. A plate 2 is provided with a downturned lip 3 at one end, a depressed aperture 4.- adjacent thereto and a'pair of hooks 5 5 adapted to engage a buckle or other fastens ing device at the other end. The'plate 2 is covered with any suitable material 6 one end or which is attached to the belt thereby con necting belt and plate. This covering and attaclnng is preferably done by'pasting the leather to the metal plate and to-the body of the belt. The buckle '7 is placed in the hooks 5 5 as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.

A retaining loop 8 having the ends fastened together'by a clip 12 is slippedon the belt and the plate, loop and belt brought together over end at 11.

as shown. The ends of the loop passing between the body of'the belt and the turned This loop receives the free end of the belt after it has been buckled and retains it in place. A. rivet 9 is passed throu h the aperture and clenched holding the belt securely to the plate and buckle and atfthe same time holding the retaining loop in position. The head 10 of the rivet carries a label or any suitable inscription or design. The edge of the turned down lip 3 bears against thebody of the belt as shown in Fig.

3 and makes a neat finish, concealing the interior construction.

it is apparent that the belt material may be used to cover the plate but Ipreier to use scrap for this purpose to reduce the cost of manufacture. It is also apparent that the buckle seats in the metal hooks and cannot pull out and tear the belt. As no sewing is necessary and only one operation, that of riveting, is required to hold the three parts together and label the belt the cost of production is reduced to a minimum.

I claim ,1. A belt end comprising a plate provided with. a depressed aperture near one end and with means for engaging a buckle at the other end; a buckle therein; a covering for said. plate connecting it with the belt; a rivet adapted to pass through the aperture and engage the belt to hold the parts together, the head of said rivet entering and filling said depression.

'2. A belt end comprising a plate provided with an aperture and with hooks at one end to engage a buckle; a buckle therein; a covering for said plate connecting it with the belt; and means passing through theaperture for securing the belt to the plate.

. 3. A. belt end comprising a'plate provided with an aperture andwith hooks at one end;

a buckle in said hooks; a covering on s'aid,
